Andre Przywara f84f62e699 selftests: cachestat: catch failing fsync test on tmpfs
The cachestat kselftest runs a test on a normal file, which is created
temporarily in the current directory.  Among the tests it runs there is a
call to fsync(), which is expected to clean all dirty pages used by the
file.

However the tmpfs filesystem implements fsync() as noop_fsync(), so the
call will not even attempt to clean anything when this test file happens
to live on a tmpfs instance.  This happens in an initramfs, or when the
current directory is in /dev/shm or sometimes /tmp.

To avoid this test failing wrongly, use statfs() to check which filesystem
the test file lives on.  If that is "tmpfs", we skip the fsync() test.

Since the fsync test is only one part of the "normal file" test, we now
execute this twice, skipping the fsync part on the first call.  This way
only the second test, including the fsync part, would be skipped.
